Lyrics



The snow is coming down, the children gather round
The snowball fights, those awesome winter nights
The stockings are hung with care as the fire warms the air
So much Christmas Cheer as we look for another year

It only happens just once a year
It only happens just once a year
Sing it loud with all your cheer
It only happens just once a year
Looking through these photographs and wishing you were here

Way out, Catching snowflakes as grandma makes her pound cake
Sleighing to the lake, you know it feels so great
It's not the Christmas tree, it's the love the joy and peace
The prayer is said round here
How Jesus conquered fear

It only happens just once a year, it only happens just once a year
Sing, Shout with all your cheer
The fire's crackle wakes me up again
Why only once a year, Why only once a year.
